LUB'RICATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Parent No. 376,809, dated January24,1888.

Application ined october 3, resi.l

1'0 all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, WILHELM ANDEEscH, of BrooklymNew York, have inventeda new and Improved Lubricator, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to alubricator so con,- structed as toautomatically indicate when it is empty and when it is full.

The invention consists in4 the various fea` tures of improvement morer`fully printed out In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a top viewof my improved lubricator withl part of the bell q broken away. 'Fig. 2is a vertical section on line x x, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a similar sectionon line yy, Fig. 1. L Fig; 4 is a detail top view of the wheel n, andFig. 5 is a detail perspective of the hammer or clapper s.

The letter c represents the oil-cup, adapted to be coupled at its lowerend with the Inawithin the cup a there is pivoted a bent 1ever, c, thehook-shaped upper end of which projects upward and outward through aperforated lid, d, and through a perforated plate,

pinfis surroundedV by ak spring, h, that has a' tendency to throw thelid up when released from the hooked lever c. The lever c is heldagainst plate e bya spring, i, and the horizontal arm of the lever ispivotally connected to a depending headed rod, j, upon which a float, k,is free to slide. f

When the oilr is consumed sufficiently. for the oat to rest upon thehead of rod j, it will draw such rod down, -oscillate lever c, andrelease the plate e, which is thus free to be thrown upward in aninclineddirection by spring To the platee there is secured an arm, Z,joined to the shaft m of a wheel, n, having ya series of' pins, n', byAmeans of a similar` arm, o, and a connecting-rod, p. The upward motionof the plate e thus causes a partial revolution of wheel a, the shaft mof which is hung in bear. ings projecting upwardly from the lid d. Abell, g, is mounted above the lid d on upright r, and is sounded by aclapper, s, secured to a sleeve, t, surrounding upright r. This sleevecarries a lug, u, attached to the sleeve by a steel spring-section, o,in front of which there` is secured to sleeve t the pin w.

serial No. 251,304. (No model.)

l When, as before described, the platee is p raised to an inclinedposition by thepressure` of the float upon the headed rody j, the wheeln will be partially yrevolved bythe parts Z p o; Thus the pins n willbear against lug u,1')ressl ing it against'pin w and causing arotati'onof the sleeve t and a consequent movement of After each 6o tion o, thisbackwardmotion will not be prevented by lug u, which will be pressed.aside. 7o Theabove-described mechanism will there-A fore throw up aplate and sound an alarm, thus calling both theA eyes `and ears of theattendant to the fact that the cup needs replenishing.- l

Within the cup a there is a second float, a, secured to a rod, 'b,projecting upwardly through a tube, c', secured above a perforation f ofcover d. The rod b has a cross-piece" or disk, d', resting upon upperedge of tube c'. 8o

When the oil is sufficiently high'to raise the float a', the disk d willalso `loe raised to indicate that the lubricator is full.. A e is thesupplytube for charging the lubricator. Y

What I claim isv l. The combination of cup a with float k,

rodj, lever c, and with'pivoted plate e, en-

gaged'by said lever, and with spring h, subv stantially aspspecitied. 9o

2. The combination of an oil-cup with a pivoted,springplate, lever,andfloat, and with a wheel having pins and connected to thespring-plate, and with a gong and clapper,

the clapper being connected toa sleeve having 9.5 y

a flexible extension that is engagedby the pins of the wheel,substantially as specified.
